there was a report earlier in the thread of someone having their poison point triggered by surf, so poison point may affect all non-contact moves nowNo idea where to post this so I apologize if it's the wrong thread, but the Move thread seems to be in-game descriptions only...
Draining Kiss is a contact move. I had my Vivillon use Draining Kiss on a wild Whirlipede to weaken it, and its Poison Point ability activated and poisoned me. Serebii has it listed as no contact, so he's wrong.
That was poison touchthere was a report earlier in the thread of someone having their poison point triggered by surf, so poison point may affect all non-contact moves now
covet has also had its bp increased to 60, to match thief:Covet = 40 PP -> 25 PP
Actually viceversa. Thief matches Covet because the latter had 60 BP in Gen Vcovet has also had its bp increased to 60, to match thief:
ah, i must have seen the 4th gen version when i was checking it. nevermind then.Actually viceversa. Thief matches Covet because the latter had 60 BP in Gen V
I did it again, but I think it only works if the levels are the same. I edited my above post.Since I'm assuming that was a wild encounter, that's a result of pseudohazing moves failing when used by a wild Pokemon instead of ending the battle this generation. (Not sure if this was mentioned earlier) I know I've seen Whirlwind/Roar fail when used by a Wild Pokemon.
Ah, I guess I was at least somewhat mistaken. :) I believe I've seen these moves work normally during battles with trainers even when the levels were lower, but it might be worth looking into (again, if it hasn't already).I did it again, but I think it only works if the levels are the same.

http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/talonflame.3489918/page-3#post-4899620How does Gale Wings affect the move Fly? I assume that it gets +1 Priority going up, but does it have +1 Priority coming back down, or does it have 0 Priority coming back down like Dive Cats? I'm crossing my fingers sooooooooooooooo hard. I can supply a bloated incense or whatever that is if anyone wants to test it.
I used protean Greninja with Role Play (as lazy alternative to Trace Gardevor) in friend safari and Greninja seemed to keep its psychic type after using Role Play.Does losing Protean (by Skill Swap, Entrainment or Mummy) revert the Protean poke to its original type? Given that they've changed to a different type of course.
Does this mean that Chatter can now be Sketched?You can't record Chatter anymore. Or at least, not that I can tell. I'm pretty sure (from experience and the in-game description) that it is straight up 100% chance of confusing anyone it hits.
e: By extension, Chatot can now be used over wi-fi
Mold Breaker negates abilities that would weaken or prevent the Mold Breaker's attacks. While I haven't tested it, I assume this would include Bulletproof and Fur Coat.Anyone research what additional abilities Mold Breaker negates this generation (if any)?
Just tried to make my Smeargle Sketch my Chatot's Chatter. "But it failed!" happened soo nope! edit: tried it in the 2v2 lvl10 double battles at Lumi. Chatot moved first and Smeargle second so I know it wasn't that.Does this mean that Chatter can now be Sketched?
What Gender is the Rivalry Axew. If they're different they get weakerJust tried to make my Smeargle Sketch my Chatot's Chatter. "But it failed!" happened soo nope! edit: tried it in the 2v2 lvl10 double battles at Lumi. Chatot moved first and Smeargle second so I know it wasn't that.
edit: also Mold Breaker only states that it stops abilities from preventing the attacks, not weaken. I'll test Fur Coat to see what happens soon.
edit: I have two separate lvl 14 Quiet Axew (one with Mold Breaker and one with Rivaly) Scratching my lvl 14 Furfrou. Axew with Rivalry is averaging 4 damage to Furfrou. Axew with Mold Breaker is averaging 8 damage. So I am mistakened, Mold Breaker is negating Fur Coat.
This is probably a silly question, but has anyone tested to see if Normal-type moves just get a 30% boost when any non-Normal type Pokémon uses them?So, Refrigerate, Pixilate and presumably Aerilate boost the normal moves that they convert. But what about their inverse - Normalize? Does it boost non-normal attacks that it changes?
Normal Gem definitely still exists. I found one in my game. Has anyone else found any differently-typed gems? It wouldn't shock me if Normal Gem were the only one left. Normal attacks aren't super-effective against anything, so they need the boost more.As I have mentioned in a post in the Battle Frontier Records topic, and in a few other places...
A lot of movesets in the Battle Maison are identical to Battle Subway sets for older Pokemon, but one thing that has changed is that ALL instances of Gems on movesets to my knowledge have been changed to different held items. It seems like a bit of a strange thing to do if Gems still existed, since they had no issue with giving Pokemon Custap Berries long, long, long before they were obtainable for us in 5th gen (and 6th gen).
It isn't anything that 100% proves that Gems no longer exist, but it does point heavily towards that direction.
Rivalry will affect the damage output though.edit: I have two separate lvl 14 Quiet Axew (one with Mold Breaker and one with Rivaly) Scratching my lvl 14 Furfrou. Axew with Rivalry is averaging 4 damage to Furfrou. Axew with Mold Breaker is averaging 8 damage. So I am mistakened, Mold Breaker is negating Fur Coat.
